The blog below was pulled together using AI based on my live commentary from the video above. It's not how I talk - so if it sounds like a robot wrote it, that's because one kinda did.

The ideas, framing, and takes should be mine, but the wording isn't.

So if you want the raw, unfiltered version straight from me, hit play on the video which is located at the very top of this blog.

If you're just scanning for the TL;DR, this AI-written summary might help-but don't take it as gospel. 

Bitcoiners know better than to trust anything without verifying. 😉

Peace!

Hey hey Bitcoin Wealth builders,

I’m often asked how to make sense of the chaos in the world. The answer is that you can't follow what the politicians are saying, you can't follow what the media is telling you; you have to follow the financial flows to understand how the system works. 

To do that, you need to understand the architecture of control. I created a term for it based upon Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work network: the 

Proof-of-Weapons Network. This is the blog I will link to whenever I get the question, "What is the Proof-of-Weapons Network?"

The Origin and Definition

The Proof-of-Weapons Network is not a secret society meeting in a dark room; it's a network of entities that exert significant influence over global financial systems. It's a "mafia style debt-based Ponzi scheme" that was constructed by the Bank of England in 1694 to provide the capital for the expansion of the British Empire and was later handed over to the Federal Reserve. 

It's a system propped up by wealth concentration and it requires wealth inequality to maintain its power. The entire network is built on a debt-based Ponzi scheme that was created by the Bank of England and exported globally. Debt is the drug. 

The Key Players: Who Runs the Network?

The network is a collection of financial institutions, corporations, and individuals who coordinate through investment flows and shared agendas. The key players are:

• Central Banks: They are the founders and the most vital players in the network. Currently, the most important central bank is the Federal Reserve because it successfully transitioned the dollar into a global debt-based Ponzi scheme. These banks are coordinated through the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Switzerland. 
• Asset Managers: Firms like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street indirectly control shares and board seats on the majority of western and other emerging markets global public companies. They use tools like BlackRock's AI algorithm, Aladdin, which is used by the Federal Reserve and Treasury to determine monetary and fiscal policy. 
• Private Equity & Hedge Funds: Deep state firms like KKR, Apollo, Blackstone, and Bridgewater Associates use the private equity market to wield reconstruction contracts on economies after a crisis. They get the assets on the cheap. 
• Global Banks: The shareholders of the Fed—JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and European and Asian banks like Deutsche Bank and HSBC—are critical. They construct the investment banking products and monetary flows required to get governments deep in debt. 
• Multinational Corporations: This includes tech giants like Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft that control hardware and software , and energy companies like ExxonMobil, Shell, and British Petroleum that control the flow of global resources. These corporations are not aligned with any one country. 
• Billionaire Families & Tech Moguls: At the top of the chain are the billionaire families who created the central banking system in the first place—the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Morgans, and the Warburgs. They are joined by tech moguls like the PayPal Mafia, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sachs, Larry Ellison  and Jeff Bezos, who use military and government-created technology to build their empires. 
• Intelligence Agencies: These are the mafias and the deep state. They are the enforcers who control the distribution of global wealth and resources through covert regime changes and psyops. 

The Playbook: How The Network Operates

The network maintains control through a series of well-honed tactics:

• Debt as a Weapon: The entire system is based on a Ponzi scheme where banks create fiat currency every time they issue a loan. The interest to repay the loan doesn't exist, so more debt must be created to pay off the old debt. 
• Financial Warfare: Financial capital is used as a weapon. This includes sanctions, economic warfare, and currency wars, all structured through organizations like the IMF and World Bank. 
• Political, Intelligence & Regulatory Influence: The network uses its capital to influence policy through lobbying and campaign financing, effectively renting Congress, the Senate, and other parliaments. They use international bodies like the World Economic Forum to set policy frameworks and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to implement sanctions against those who resist the agenda. They have access to intelligence networks and deep state through MI6, CIA and Mosaad.

The Peaceful Resistance: Proof-of-Work

The Proof-of-Weapons network requires violence, control, and perpetual debt to function. Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work is the exact opposite. It is a peaceful, decentralized system that represents a speculative attack on central banking. It is an exit from the system of financial oppression. 

Understanding this network is the first step toward reclaiming your sovereignty. The system is not broken; it was built this way. Bitcoin is the tool that allows us to build something new.
